What is Transfer (Check Transfer) in Restaurants?

Check transfer is used to move an active check from one server or table to another. This ensures continuous and efficient service to a guest.

It can be very effective when servers are transitioning on or off shift. Allowing the next server to immediately take over a check without interrupting the guests. It is also used when guests change tables to keep their current order from being deleted and re-entered for a new table.

The POS system allows immediate transfer of a check. The menu items and prices remain the same. It greatly limits billing mistakes.

The system often sets access controls. Authorized employees only can transfer checks, keeping accurate tracking of information. The check transfer system allows smooth operations and the ability to handle simultaneous changes that occur.
